Wireless the way it should be

Beats Solo3 Wireless is ready to go when you are. They instantly set up – just power on and hold near your iPhone – and then simultaneously connect to your Apple Watch, iPad and Mac*. With Class 1 Bluetooth technology, Solo3 Wireless provides the soundtrack to your life with wireless efficiency.

Feel your music

At the heart of Beats Solo3 Wireless is award-winning Beats sound. This headphone delivers premium playback with fine-tuned acoustics that maximize clarity, breadth and balance. The comfort-cushion ear cups buffer outside noise for immersive sound so you can experience music the way it was meant to be heard.

All-day play

Beats Solo3 Wireless delivers up to 40 hours of battery life driven by the efficiency of the Apple W1 chip. Or, with Fast Fuel, a quick 5-minute charge provides 3 hours of playback to quickly get you back on track. Integrated on-ear controls, coupled with dual beam-forming mics, allow you to take calls, play music, adjust volume and activate Siri while on the go.

Custom comfort

Beats Solo3 Wireless stays true to its predecessor with bold styling and a streamlined design. The on-ear, cushioned ear cups are adjustable so you can customize your fit for all-day listening comfort. The headphone’s fast-flowing curves and pivoting ear cups complete this natural fit, designed for optimal comfort and sound delivery.

Let me preface this review by saying: I've had my LG Bluetooth buds for running, but they aren't comfortable enough in my ears to handle while studying in the library or playing Netflix at night while my boyfriend is sleeping (lol). Also, that Bluetooth blue light that blinks is obnoxiously bright in a dark room. I'm very particular about the sound quality of my music and HD movies. For example, I've always had Bose speakers and auxiliary Monster cables in my car and in my home.
Ok, with that being said, I thought I'd spend the money and try these out. The nostalgia of huge on-ear headphones, that come in rose gold to match my Apple Watch and 7+, made them appealing before I even tested the actual quality. Then there was the perk that it had the W1 chip and a 40-hour battery life. I already hate that I have to charge my watch every day... my phone can go 3 days if I need it to and I'd like headphones that could do the same. I'll admit it: I'm lazy. They don't drain the battery on my phone the way my other Bluetooth earbuds and my car's Bluetooth do. Furthermore, you can register the Beats for free with Apple (keep your receipt filed at home, just in case). They're crisp, clear, and LOUD. I can appreciate different background sounds and instrumentals in my music that gives it this dynamic theater-quality listening experience.
I'm still mastering the side controls; these aren't as straightforward as my LG Bluetooth buds. I did need these headphones to be able to control music and calls, so I'm going to have to figure that out a little more. Volume and pause/play are the only controls I've managed to master lol. It's just a user error. I've also noticed that when making calls, with the Beats connected via Bluetooth, my phone defaults it to speaker from the phone itself... I have to manually redirect AirPlay to my Beats. They appear right there at the top of the list, so I'm not sure what's going on with that. Perhaps an update for the phone or software is necessary. Also, they don't disconnect when signal is weak or cut in and out (which is due to the W1 chip in both the Beats and the fact that they're paired to another device with a W1 chip).
Hope this helps you in making your decision if the Beats Solo3 are right for you.

Pros:
Excellent battery life
Stylish looking

Stay on your head tightly during workouts and running
Ridiculously fast and easy pairing
Not flimsy feeling at all
Cons:
Too big for the gym for my liking, I'll probably wait for powerbeats3
They're pretty pricey even for the quality you're getting

The beats 3 solo are incredible. I'm hearing parts of songs I've never heard before. I wear them to listen to music rather than watch tv. Yes I'm wearing them now. Sign up for 3 months of Apple Music for free. Great platform so far but I'm not sure about how it compares to Spotify. You won't be disappointed with the Beats. I go around putting them on heads of my friends and family. Now I'm understanding why Apple bought them.

I got the Beats Solo3 wireless headphones as a Christmas present and I strongly recommend them. Me being a college student/athlete I am always busy and very active. I listen to my music a lot while walking in between classes and when I work out or on the bus traveling. the beats solo3 has great sound quality and great noise canceling technology. They stay snug on my ear while I'm running on the treadmill or shooting in the gym, with the headphones being wireless I don't have to worry about tangled wires. The beats solo3 has EXCELLENT battery life, as I mentioned earlier I got these as a Christmas present they were fully charged and I've used them a lot since then, and I still haven't recharged them yet. These headphones are a great purchase for anyone who stays active.

Great quality

They sound great just like your at a concert, the battery last a long time, and doesn’t take long to charge. I’m very happy with mine they are worth the $300 :

These headphones are fantastic. Not only do I love the color, but the sound is great and they are extremely comfortable to wear. I love how easily they fold up for storage. It's nice that they come with a bag with a color-matching "b" logo. The fact that they are wireless makes them very easy to hook up to your phone/iPad. The battery life seems to be eternal. Another winner from Apple.

I have problems connecting Beats solo 3 to iMac late 2012 and iPad Air 1, but not on iPod touch from 2011.
But after reading instructions I managed to do that:
- turn OFF Beats solo 3
- turn Bluetooth ON on your device
- now press AND HOLD button on Beats for 5 seconds (slowly count to 5)
- lights on Beats should slowly blink
- now there comes a tricky part: it takes at least 10 seconds (sometimes even 30 seconds) for Beats to appear in device's menu of Bluetooth devices

The W1 Chip is the brains behind the Apple AirPods. It can tell when you're talking and listening, manages battery life for up to 5 hours on one charge, handles changes between calls and listening to music as well as improves the sound quality all on it's own with no added steps from the person using them.
